The interviewer asks this question because domestic and international travel may be required depending on the Division and assignment. This information is listed in the FBI Intelligence Analyst Candidate information packet, and the interviewer wants to ensure you understand travel may be part of your job duties. Opportunities include meeting with the U.S., foreign intelligence, and law enforcement agencies, attending Intelligence Community conferences, and temporary engagements at other Field Offices. Assure the interviewer that traveling will not be an issue if hired.

Avoid saying that you are afraid of flying or have an issue with foreign and domestic travel. If you respond in either of these ways, the interview panel will feel you lack dedication to the bureau and are not a team player. If you are afraid of flying or unwilling to travel, you will be passed over for another candidate who does not have an issue traveling.

"No, I do not have an issue with domestic and international travel. I started traveling at a young age when my father was in the Air Force. My family has lived in three countries and visited many more. I enjoy traveling and would be happy to travel wherever you need me to if hired."
